is he still a nrillionaire now 600 billion have been wiped off the shares? BBC reporting today that Space x stocks have slumped by 24% I know he still has silly money --- but he was crowing about being the world's first trillionaire when the stock was launched recently.

I am doing life wrong, aren't I? 😉 Tesla profits fall 46% in 2025 SpaceX operates currently at a 5 billion loss.

Couldn’t bear the white noise of the news headlines — this is such a relief. Thoughtful and sane. Worth the sub I’ve just signed up for.

SPECIAL EPISODE: From Brexit 🇪🇺 to Burnham 🌹 What Brexit unleashed & what comes next. On a BIG day in politics, Naomi & Alex chat to @mrjamesob.bsky.social about Starmer's departure & the 10th anniversary of that referendum. 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/54YY... 🍏 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/q...

Farage already calling for a 'general election.' No surprises there. He, Lowe, Robinson, Musk & Putin are popping the champagne corks on the news of Starmer's resignation. Make that of what you will.

A reminder of what Nigel Farage said following the murder of Sarah Everard by a serving police officer.

BIZARRELY, the only person to see RefUK performance as clearly as we did - i.e. they hit a ceiling, are going backwards and NOT on course for a majority - and give Tice a proper grilling today, was Tominey on GBeebies. Albeit for her own insane tHe-cOmMuNisT-gReEnZ-aRe-CoMiNg-tO-TaKe-mY-aGa reasons.

I've spent yesterday and today talking to researchers across the globe trying to understand the hantavirus outbreak aboard the cruise ship MV Hondius. My story in @science.org is here (and some threaded thoughts coming): www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪 #IDsky

Cruise ship’s hantavirus outbreak puts researchers in uncharted territory

Questions about the culprit virus and its route of spread remain as health officials make plans for stranded passengers

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion. That's roughly $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. People do not want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social opens the programme with "WTF"? We're expecting YOU to explain it to us but these trite shallow headlines don't inspire confidence.

It's either going to undress all the missiles to make them extra sexy or recommend that Trump invades Poland.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced the integration of Elon Musk's xAI platform, Grok, into military networks as part of a new "AI acceleration strategy" during a visit to SpaceX.

This is essential: a democracy *must* know who is paying its politicians and where that money is coming from. Cryptocurrency is *designed* to make that impossible. The whole point is to lift payments outside the scrutiny of the state.

Liam Byrne MP@liambyrnemp.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Seven Select Committee Chairs have written jointly to the Prime Minister calling for an explicit ban on cryptocurrency donations in the forthcoming Elections Bill. This is not an argument about digital assets. It is an argument about democratic integrity.

An earlier version of the NSS specifically said that the US should try to pry Italy, Austria, Poland and Hungary away from the EU www.defenseone.com/policy/2025/...

@ndironsmp.bsky.social great apppearance on newsnight! Kept calm in the face of those awful guys getting their knickers in a twist over RR.

Mason declares that in his judgement we have been misled by Rachel Reeves. It feels unprecedented that the BBC has made a "call" on a story, and is something that was absent throughout the terms of notorious liars such as Johnson. There were certainly no "calls" about Brexit lies. #r4today

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

😍 Boston, you are beautiful. #NoKings

Democracy dies in silence. …when people are too afraid or don’t care enough to speak up. Not today. MILLIONS of Americans and allies of freedom and democracy, here and around the world, are taking to the streets. Showing their love of country and defiance of tyranny. It’s a beautiful sight.

Happy No Kings Day to all those who celebrate. Sending best wishes to our friends across the Pond. I'm looking on with interest.

This is journalistic malpractice. Nothing whatsoever is "not clear". The plain text of an established law forbids it. That's all that need be said about whether it can be done.

Really, Reform UK? THIS is what you're going with? That this man, who served as an MEP next to Nigel Farage for years and was made leader of your party in Wales by current deputy, Richard Tice, is just "one of tens of thousands of people Nigel meets on an annual basis"?~AA
